Rex Tillerson

U.S. Secretary of State

-- As an employee of Exxon for forty years, including eleven years as CEO, Tillerson served one of the most notoriously anti-LGBTQ Fortune companies. The companyheld a -25% rating(less than 0%) on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index a full seven years into Tillerson’s tenure as CEO. It wasn’t until the Obama administration and courts began forcing the issue from a federal level that Exxon began making positive changes on LGBTQ equality. How much Tillerson contributed to the change is an open debate.

The Trump Accountability Project (TAP) is a resource for journalists, editors, and other news makers reporting on the Trump administration, which catalogues the anti-LGBTQ statements and actions of President Donald Trump and those in his circle. The Trump Accountability Project also includes other hateful rhetoric, discriminatory actions, and exclusionary worldviews of the incoming Trump administration.

This information will equip journalists, as well as everyday people, to hold Trump and his administration accountable for their words and actions. It will also serve as a reminder that many in the incoming administration have blatantly pledged to dismantle the legal protections that LGBTQ people, as well as other communities, have achieved over the past several years.

Based on the successful Commentator Accountability Project, GLAAD will use first-hand statements, video, and/or audio to document the animus displayed by people being appointed into positions of power in the U.S. government.

GLAAD will also share this information with reporters, journalists, producers, activists, and fellow organizations each time they make headlines anew.
